(Yes, I realize this is an ancient post.)

I was so thankful to find this thread in my search on the Rovner Darks, because I thought I was somehow putting on my new ligature incorrectly! The photos on the insert that came with the Rovner clearly show the front and back of the ligature hitting the same spot on the mouthpiece, but mine doesn't. The side with the screw is at an angle.

Whew! It's *supposed* to fit that way. Nothing like up-to-date photos ....
